Today, on almost every front page of a newspaper, from small towns in Arkansas to the biggest cities in the nation, same-sex couples are featured prominently, and headlines report that the United States Supreme Court has struck down bans on marriage between same-sex couples.

On Friday, June 26, supporters in New York City flooded to the historic landmark, Stonewall Inn, to celebrate the enormous ruling that the United States Supreme Court had announced that morning: that denying the freedom to marry to same-sex couples was unconstitutional.

Today, the United States Supreme Court issued a historic, sweeping ruling in favor of the freedom to marry. The decision will soon bring the freedom to marry to same-sex couples across the country, ending marriage discrimination once and for all.

As we await the United States Supreme Court's ruling on the question of the freedom to marry, counties are preparing for the possibility that their marriage bans may be struck down as a result of the decision.

Freedom to Marry was the campaign to win marriage nationwide. With the Supreme Court victory on June 26, 2015, the work of this strategic campaign – though not the larger movement – was achieved, and Freedom to Marry wound down its operations, closing in early 2016.
